Hoong inadvertently brings up a good point, however, as there are indeed some big problems with their new laws. But I highly doubt the illicit cannabis industry donates hush money to the government. That’s what the casinos do.

And this is all beside the point. This letter is written as if the German report came out of nowhere when the data existed for 2-3 years and BC Liberals sat on it. Andy Yan wrote about back in 2015. It’s about capital. It’s about money moving across borders. Everything else is moot. It begs the question, as one commenter brought up, was Hoong paid to write this hit piece?

Violent Neo-Nazi Group Has Disturbing Plans For Canada This is what you are saying when you say both sides are to blame. This is who you are protecting. Saying “don’t fight hate with hate” is gaslighting. Legitimate hurt and anger at the injustices people suffer being equated to the bigotry and hate of our oppressors is a dangerous false equivalence.

TOGETHER has been painted onto a wall in strathcona, on the side of a building in which the original occupying businesses were forced out by Chip Wilson, in a neighbourhood where 95% of my friends have been forced out by landlords and the beyond livable rent increases, across from the brand new shiny condo tower boasting 1800$ monthly micro suites. The word TOGETHER, on the side of this building, is larger than the size of an apartment in which the average Vancouverite can afford. A special place in hell is reserved for those in charge of this city’s daily operation. May they burn forever.

While we all may agree with the sentiment, “Fck Everything” might not be the phrase we need right now so that we can might an effect and momentum that we need to push our the progressive agendas forward…

Thanks for the update although I’m not sure that the fact it was chosen by children lessens the perceived injustice or aggravates it. I doubt that the charities that were evicted from that building like The Network of Inner City Community Services Society feel any better about it.
